SENIOR HISTORY In the beginning was a lot of Freshmen, and these were without organization and knowledge, and deep seated ignorance was niton their faces. And the spirit of the Faculty moved among them. And the Faculty said, Let them be promoted, and some were promoted. And the Faculty saw these few, that they were deserv- ing, and they divided the deserving from the undeserv- ing. And the first of these were called the class of 11)08. And this was the evening of the first day. And the Faculty said, All ye both great and small may partake of the tree of knowledge. And the class of 1908 partook of the tree of knowledge, and they grew in wisdom and in the favor of the Faculty. And the Faculty said, Let there he lights in the school and let them be for an example and an inspiration to those who shall come here in future years. And there was one great light and there were also lesser lights. And by this one great light were begun all new things in the Normal, and without it were not any new things begun that were begun.

And they go about saying they are thankful not to be like unto others, and that they study four and a half hours as prescribed by the Dormitory laws. They also wear much ribbons and blow tin horns, and still they attract little attention. But the class of 1908 stands afar off and says, O, Ye of the Faculty, see what we are worth. And lo! The Faculty have said he that boasts of himself shall not grow in the favor of the Faculty; but he that doeth much work as the class of 1908 doeth shall grow in our favor. And the Sophs began to murmur and said, But see our many ribbons and hear our tin horns. But the Faculty said, We are worthy to judge thee, for Sve are much more elder than our looks. ' ' And this was late the third day. In the morning of the fourth day the fame of the class of 1908 went throughout the Normal, and they
